I'm afraid not, kids. We're just getting started.
Season 2 of Once Upon a Time starts with a mysterious man in New York gets a post card from Storybrooke with the message "Broken". Wonder who he is and what he's up to?
Anyhoos, in Fairy Tale World, Julian Morris (Wren; Pretty Little Liars) guest stars as Prince Phillip, coming to Sleeping Beauty's rescue. Aurora (Sarah Bolger) wakes up to see Phillip at her side and is thrilled to find him after ages of deep slumber. He comes with a masked warrior, who was later revealed to be Mulan (Jamie Chung). The love fest gets interrupted when they were attacked by wraith, a soul-sucking demon. As Phillip fights the wraith, he unknowingly gets marked by its talisman, therefore having him cursed. He finds out afterwards as he sees a mark on his hand.
While setting up camp, Phillip leaves Aurora and Mulan so he can save them from the wraith as he realizes that it's following him due to the talisman's mark. He walks away from Aurora telling her that he'll be back in a five minutes to get some firewood. She has no idea he's leaving for good.
It has been a while and he hasn't been back since he said he'll be off to get some wood. Mulan becomes aware that Phillip may have been cursed by the talisman and decides to come after him. Aurora insists on coming with her, but she refuses thinking that she'll just slow her down. So Mulan leaves Aurora in the forest alone. Aurora follows her after finding a horse and Mulan tells he to go. Aurora realizes that Mulan is in love with Phillip. Mulan denies it.
Back at Storybrooke, an angry mob storms to Regina's home, with the intention of killing her. David (Prince Charming) and Mary Margaret (Snow White) tries to stop them, with the help of Emma, Archie Hopper (Jiminy Cricket), and the dwarves.
Since Emma has finally broken the curse, Regina thought that magic is already back in Storybrooke. She tries to fight off the people by performing magic on them. However, she fails and realizes she's still powerless. So the mob tries to gang up to kill her. She was saved, just in time, by David and Snow. The two stops them by telling them that her death won't provide them answers to whatever it is that's about to happen. They suggested that they lock her up in the sheriff's office at the meantime while figuring things out.
Rumplestiltskin aka Mr. Gold finds out what happened to Belle in the past 28 years that she was gone. She tells Gold that she was abducted by Regina, causing Gold to be furious. Belle, knowing how vindictive Gold is, pleads for Gold to promise that he will not kill Regina. Gold, being the man that he is, goes to the sheriff's office to find Regina. He marks her with the wraith's talisman and later on summons the wraith.
Emma sends her son to go with Ruby (Red Riding Hood), while they find Mr. Gold. Still overwhelmed, she tried to dodge Mary Margaret's offer to have a talk. Snow is very much persistent and pleads for them to talk. She can't help but think that Emma is not happy with their reunion. Emma explains that the fact that she was sent away by her parents, causing her to live alone for 28 years, made her feel awkward upon their reunion. To their defense, Snow tells her that they did that to give her the best chance in life, having to avoid the curse. Emma rebuts that although she may have avoided Regina's curse, she still would rather choose that than live a life alone as an orphan for 28 years.
Emma and her parents find Gold in his shop to confront him. He answers her questions and tells them that the purple haze they saw earlier is magic coming back to Storybrooke. All of a sudden, an explosion of some sort happens outside. Gold tells them that it's his gift to them... and will "take care" of Regina. Emma leaves with her parents, but not without warning Gold that they're not yet done. He replies, warning her back, "Oh I know. You still owe me a favor." (Uh-ooooh!)
Belle heard all the conversation and comes out to speak to Gold. She told him that he broke his promise and lied to her. To his defense, Gold replies that he did not broke his word about killing Regina (he's really good at loopholes!). She was so disappointed on how he toys with words, just like he does with people. She walks out from Gold and as she opens the door, he apologizes to Belle. She does not accept it and storms out of his shop in tears.
Upon her return, Belle comes walks in to a sad Mr. Gold. He tells her that Regina lives and that the wraith is gone. She notices Belle's chipped cup. He asks Belle to leave because even though they live some place else now, he is still the monster that is Rumplestiltskin. She says that it IS the reason that she wanted to stay.
The wraith has finally found Regina in her cell to suck her soul. David tries to stop it with a chair, but to no avail, as it threw David against the wall. Snow fights it off with a lighter and a spray, scaring it off. Regina tells them what that is and tells them that the wraith will never stop until it devours its prey--Regina.
Having promised Henry that they won't let Regina die, Emma tells her father (whether he likes it or not) that they will protect Regina until they find a way to defeat it. Regina suggests that they'd send it somewhere it cannot kill anyone. So Regina retrieves Jefferson's (Mad Hatter) magical hat to have the wraith transported to a different world through the portal, banishing it to oblivion.
The wraith comes into the mayor's office to find Regina, Emma, Snow and Charming, ready for battle. While they try to stall the wraith, Regina prepares the hat/portal but it won't work. Regina tells Emma that it will not work because there is no magic. As Emma holds Regina, the hat begins to spin (yes, she is THE magic), sucking the wraith. Unfortunately, the wraith held onto Emma, sucking her into the portal as well. Snow, afraid of losing her child again, jumps in to save Emma and she gets into the portal to. When David is about to jump in, the portal closes, leaving him with Regina.
David is furious, blaming Regina for the loss of his newly reunited family. He threatens to kill her as Regina regains her powers back. Henry comes in the nick of time and he sees Regina about to kill David, his grandfather. Henry asks for Emma and Snow. Regina explains to him what happened and says she's sorry. He tells her that she's not sorry, that she really is the evil queen and that he never wants to see her again. Regina tells him that she is not evil and that she loves him. Henry then challenges Regina to prove him of her love--to get Mary Margaret and Emma back. Until then, she has to leave Henry and the rest of Storybrooke alone. She asks Henry where he'd go then, and David interrupts to declare that Henry's going to stay with him, being his grandfather.
The two came to stay at Snow and Emma's home. David tells Henry that he has faith that Emma and Mary Margaret are still alive. He assures him that he will find them, like he always will.
In Fairy Tale World, they find Phillip and Mulan tells him that to stop the wraith from taking him, she will sacrifice herself so she'd be marked, therefore making it follow her instead. He bids her goodbye and the wraith sucks Phillip's soul, leaving them in tears.
As they lay Phillip's body in the castle Aurora and Phillip are suppose to live in upon marriage, Mulan hands Aurora the talisman and explains to Aurora how much things has changed in their land. That while she was asleep, Regina has cast a curse on their land, ripping everyone from their land except for them. For some unknown reason, they were spared from her spell. She then goes on that for 28 years, they were frozen in time. Phillip and Mulan then were able to resume their search for Aurora, when the time finally started again (upon Emma's arrival in Storybrooke). Those who were left in Fairy Tale Land, they found a safe haven. Mulan tells Aurora that they must go there as soon as they can.
Their talk was interrupted by a noise. Mulan comes toward the noise to find Emma and Snow lying under a pile of debris. Mulan declares that Emma and Snow's coming has something to do with the wraith and the prince's death.
